SAMPFoRD The following letter which we, have extratied fr)m the Sherbourne Mercury, was written by situ Clergyman who.has been so active in his etineavoor, to it.:velope this mysteriousaffair, but hitherto with out , tICCeSS _ To THE EDITOR OF THE SIIERBOURNE MER CURY. SIR, The moment lam able to give the publio any sa tistadory explanation of the phenomena still going on at Samplord, I pledge myseif o take the earliest opi.ortu,,ity of doing it, through the. channel of your widely citculated n paper. 1 am cotiaced tt it yOu will feel no less happy to insert such Intel ligeoce than I shall to conmiunicate it. lam sotry to say that the cluild of mystery that hangs over this strange affair, at present seems, to thicken'. I beard from an officer in that troop of yeomanry in which Mr. CinA - -e has been lung a serjeant, that . he had informed him that on the nights ut liVednes da) and Thursday last, nis whole family had been dreadfully alarmed. On last !friday night I went, in consequence , of th's information, to Sampford, accompanied by another wit ness, whom I took with me from hence. The apartment (not that in which these noises have most generally occurred), under went the strictest and most tutoute investigation. Jane Hervey, a middle-aged woman, a fresh servant, no new thing in that family, informed me she had *libu4 a little more Than a week. In Cee " presence of, the persist, r took with tne lroin TiVertoi, I interrogated her in the most, serious manner tt ith respect to tier opinion of the noise, She had heard ant the blues "she had felt. This woman swore most solemuly; tfiat it was her' firm: Aid lull coutiction, if (to use her own expression) ihe - was on her death-betbaliat th-se uoises and knockings were notprodneed; ditc6ily a, indirectly, - by any person or .per Sous in that leafse. She has since ex: ' ,erienced s.; rn,2re, and any' gentleman can examine her on,the spot. .0., Fridainighithis wo= man 'Wild •4111 *akh o;tfiqitty', prevailed upon to go to bed azaiu'fn, the same Apartment, ,and INIr: Tay wifs placed in a satiation a.here he was, without ititerfrossion, narrowly watched; and where I can swear to tux ut peg ability of his acting.

I have been in' an adjoining apartment at night with others, when the blows upon the bed's bead, might have been heard tifty yards atleast from Lie house,, by a•per son-from w4l,;:lout.

MEL4I..VD EXTRACT CP A LETTER FROU GAT...VA!: " We are again called-upon to noti..e the law less and atrocious otdrages tit the pirapical banditti of the fishermen s 4 ho the Clodda4li in this town. The deter , runed and obstinate perseverance of ilre:e infatulted inonopiai•ts,- in then miett.pt:i to ruin the lucrative and abundant fishery iri this bay, appears likely to be productive of the moa tre mendous consequences, not birch. to tho , e imme diately interested is the prosperity of the fishery, but even to toe community at large, and loudly calls for, and, we conceive, well merits, the imtneditte attention of the Govetibment. We mentioned in our last the intetriou of Captain Morris, of the Townsbend Revenue- cutter, to atlord protection to such industrious persons as may be disposed to, fish • for herrings. With this intention he went into the bay on Wednesday evening, 'when immediately, upon observing his movement, many hundreds 01 the Cloddagh &berme') put to sea for the purpose of opposing him, and in a most alariiring manner threatened himself and crew with destruction: Cap tain Morris, however, not intimidated by -their des perate temerity, persevered in his *purpose, - and after having tired several shots, stwereded iu disi:ers hag then), thereby affording encouragement to such persons as were inclined to fish, to do so. The op- • portunity thus afforded, lem only availed them selves of—sso considerable; was' the appreliensioti excited amongst them by the previous menaces of the Cloddagh men ; and of the few, one boat incauti ously, anti without the knowledge of Captain Morris; - proceeded b,-yond the reach of. 116 assi,t atice. This boat was earsued and overtaken, and: at midnight (Captain:Morris having some hours pre viowiiy returned to harbour) she was boarded, w ht with characteristic barbarity, the Cloddagh tineit put 3 gag into the mouth of every person on board, for the ; purpose of prevewing . any, pos4bility of alarth. In this deplorable situation one or tlie Unhappy then, whits had Mien attacked, • was laid hold of by the heels, by one of the 'assailants, who intended, and 1 actually attempted, to have thrown him over:board ! In the exertion, one of his 'shoes, which the moo, ;ter lidd, having been pulled off, fortunately saved his ; for a second attempt to drawn' loin Was de feated. by 'the interference. of thii miscreant's 'own associates in eriine, who all declared in the hearing of the agitated iictioi of their cruelty, "that it he was made' 'away svith they'd all be hanged. ,• The'boat crew _had been thus ill-treated had 'taken' above 10,000 herrings, everyone of which, together with the nets, Scc. &c, on board, it must ) ,p e ar entirely unnecessar y to add, underwent a most stitu naaty and discretionary mode - of confiscation. • Such were the proceedings ox Wednesay night ; and reproachful as they no doubt are, they wet e not more disgraceful nor more ink-411665' th-i the occur rences of the tollowiog day ; for, on l'hursiay, the disturbers not .only tuaniested a rehketaure cline a repetition of the contli: . i, but went tie tay *to ptavoke it,by hating violently 'arid wantonly at tacked'- and- ill-treated Capt. Morris's' men. 'He himself having accidentally been absent .from . the vi-ssel at the mumept the attack was made upon the crew, the men supposed it prudent tint to retaliate the - injury, anddechned firing upon - the assailants. -Upon 15--iniOnfortnecl of the assanit,which had been committed on his men, Captain Morris immediately -proceeded to ilia 'vessel, and' went in pursuit of the offenders, three •of the ringleaders of whom were: identified to him, and spiritedly taken by him- from .amongst the cellectederews of above 500 beats and . put on board his own vessel, whe * re he kept them confined fur that night. The following morning he applied to the Mayor for a party of the army to con ey them to jail, which, having been ordered, was marched to the beach in order re) take charge of the prisoners. • After the . Military had taken -the delin quents into custody, and while escorting them through the Cloddaghi.to jail, the contest assumed a new•shape. Attire end,of Dominick-street, Capt. Morris, the Guard,, tic. were, opposed by a phalanx ' of Amazonian heroines from 4 to 600 strong, who - having upon this occasions laid aside the oratorical weapon, of woman's warfare, which though- it Often wounds, seldom kills, so beset the party with showers of lapideous bullets, that they conceived it prudent' to march' in double - quick. time, until their • retreat was luckily covered by theguard at the West Bridge guard-room, who turned out for tlie.pnr p•ose. During this short sculile, Captain Morris re ceived sbine severe contu s ions, as also did the soh dieis,*a few of whom findingit impossible, notwith standing thei•r apparent danger, to divest themselves of the' characteristic gallantry of Irishmen, prevailed upon saute of the fear combatants to taste the '" Aromatic Lozenges of Steel." The prisoners are 'now lb jail and •will'we suppose be tried at the pre sent Quarter Sessionser-Ttre manner tit which they shafhe treated, and the so . y(irity with which ,they, shall be . ptinished, (if evidence be addUced against' tlieii stifficient to warrant a Oouiictis.m) will, we, siik2erelyhope and trust, prove the •deterniination of itie Tho;Sel .

IiAIIVRST, AND DISTILLATION FROM GRAIN. After . the gloomy firebodings which had been in dulged re 7 p , •cting the harvest, and the prediCtions of scarcity, which were so mdustaiously dissemi nated, it is a ; ertiliar satisfaMion, it it may not be det-tned rt public duty, to notice the contrast which is preseitteo from the contemplation-of the present situation of the C , Allilry. The harvest has been untisualty abiln‘lilt . , and it has been principally reaped during the most se,tsonably fine weather, in greater plenty, and in liiglrtr pet fection than w as ever pi-I - Wilts rem i embered. The information de nired through varions.channels, and from pr e rnt counties, nnitt-s in the most chfering account of ale crop., and the constant .fall of the prices o f grr in, demons: rat es, most unequivocally, that the bless ing of plenty is -amongst us. Not only are all ap pteltensions respecting the harvest entirely removed, but the despondency which has been entertained re specting the discoetinuance of the importation of foreign grain, is now proved to be altogether gro9nd less.• It- has been confiiently aiserted 'by many .who deiight , in gloomy anticipations of Calami -ty. ;to their country, that the restrictions upon commerce, which the measures of our enemies have Unposed, or which it would probably be found expedient to adopt, in their operations, de prive this county of those const , terableimport,itions of - fbreign grain, which have begin usually received, and o i on.which we have been accu-toinen to !lice much dependence. It is, however, vety satisfaztory to obseive, that so tar from any diminution of the eustoitiary supplies' of lorelgu gran having been expoienced, the importations from abroad utrring the present year into the.; ort of Louden only, have already amounted to the extraordinary. quantity of one million of quarters, a quantity tar exceHing the oidinary iMpo.takions into the whole em pire. Toth.- se foreign import at ions no interrupt ion has been found ; nor is there the slightest t2,rourutof • rational apprehension, that they will It discon. tincrat. The renewal of our intercourse' with the United Staves •of • America has afforded further source of ;•aud the quantity arrive I from thence. to. Livelpool, where the principal part of the trade with that couutry is condUtied; arnounted;,Sinee. January, to 80it547 barrels a wheat flour, and 14,01)0 qiiarteri of wheat. .-- • • . Under , the consideration of these taiSls, and with an almost enpreeedentedly large stock of grain ac cumulited-ifi- every direttion, - I shdold conceive' that every person mt.aq be convinced that. the alarm of scareity ..which was raised for interested purposes, has at present no real foundation. It must un-. questionably 'he atknOwledgek that it beltrAes *us to exainine,' with •the m6si•Tcarefut attention, into our means_ of national subsistence, before - we re pose with,confidence and security in the adequacy . of the supply to our future . wards ; for where there is even the distant prospea of a deficiency of grain„ 'a retrenchment _and economy in its consumption.. 'cannot be too early recommended. But when the .investigation has'bean made into the 'state of the harvest,. and our general stock, and when ..it . is sari-factority and - incontrovertibly proved that, • this happy country is teeming with an alien-, dAnce of-the staff of life, we ought' ao dismiss these idle. fears, and enjoy,. With gratitu de,' the blesSing of plenty. , The abundance.. which we at present possess removes, I conceive, every ground of olajetlion to. the repeal of a Triestare, which on, ac count of its fated effeEts on the agricultural interests of the cotintry, can be justified only by the certain prospect 'of approaching: scarcity ; I• allude to the .prohibition of distillation from grain.. This estric live and flueluating policy operates as a serious check on the industry of farmers, who are not generally capable of fully comprehending the motives 4 /f IC. gislative interference, and who are led to apprehend a frequent recurrence of it ; nor eau they judge lot how long atiiie it may be persevered in. If, how ever, this interdiction should be continued in a sea son of the greatest abundance, when moreover the opening of the distilleries to corn is not prevented by ' the nature of the ACt, then indeed it as to be 'feared that their confidence in the security pf the :cure market must be abated, if not .entirely destroyed ; and consequently that tillage must *give way to any other system of husbandry that promises an 'exernia-:: tion from such ruinous restrietions. .Tue lath'ent able consequences of. the prohibittop Of coro,distil , Wien have been 'unequivoCally established by the concurrent testimony of the not respetable 'persons • who were examined upon oath before a Sole& Com mittee of the House of Lords. Impressed with a firm conviction of the injury which it occasions to Agriculture, as tending to the discouragement of til lage; to-the Revenue, '_as increasing illicit distilla , titer ; and to Comenerce, as producing great ling ., tuations and insecurity . in .genera! trade. Some of' our most illustrious Senators haVe reproba ed' in the most forcible language, the - continuance of' this policy, and nearly thirty, petitions have been _ sent Iron , different counties for the reireal of the Act, all exhibiting a melancholy' picture of the baneful effects on agricultural industry and It'rospe rity..which: have. been : actually experienecl in . ..coti• aequefice of the prohibition. It has been suggested by some who profess an SnxiOus concern for the laededahterest, that hostility to , the - repeat of this irreasutey that - it . would be wore advisable. to inter-! dict the importation of . foreigngrain,. and at the same time to prohibit corn distillation.
